Lars Weibel: "Patrick Fischer has not been given an ultimatum"

Klaus Zaugg ("Watson") reported earlier this week that Patrick Fischer will have to make a decision regarding his future until the beginning of December. If he were to fail to do so, Jan Cadieux would become the new head coach of the national team.

However, asked by the "Der Bund", Lars Weibel, Director Sport, denies that: "Patrick Fischer has not been given an ultimatum. He is allowed to take more time to consider his decision, theoretically even until after the World Championship."

While he did not deny that they are working on a plan B in case Fischer decides to step down, he was not willing to talk about names with the newspaper.
